1) Oh my love! I’d do anything for youto have you for a second, far away from the worldand close to meOh my love! Just like the Magdalena riverwhich merges into the sea sand,I want to be one with you.

There are loves which become resistant to any damage,just like wine improves its quality throughout the years,in that same way my feelings for you grow ever stronger

There are loves which wait for the winter to bloomand in the autumn evenings turn green again,just like the love I feel for you.

Oh my love! Don’t forget the sea,which has seen me crying at nightover all those memories I’ve got of youOh my love! Don’t forget the daywhich separated your lifefrom this poor life of mine

There are loves which become resistant to any damage,just like wine improves its quality throughout the years,in that same way my feelings for you grow ever stronger

There are loves which seem to reach an end but then bloomand in the autumn evenings turn green again,just like the love I feel for youI feel for you.. for you.. like the love I feel for you.

2)

Oh my love*! There's nothing I wouldn't do for youto have you for a second, far away from the worldand close to meOh my love! Just like the Magdalena riverwhich melts into the sand of the sea,I want to melt with you.

There are loves which become resistant to damage,just like wine improves through the years,that's how my feelings for you grow.

There are loves which wait for winter and bloomand in the autumn evenings turn green again,just like the love I feel for you.

Oh my love! Don’t forget the sea,which has seen me crying at nightso many memories of you.Oh my love! Don’t forget the daywhich separated your lifefrom this poor life that I had to live.

There are loves which become resistant to damage,just like wine improves through the years,that's how my feelings for you grow.

There are loves which seem to end and bloomand in the autumn evenings turn green again,just like the love I feel for youI feel for you.. for you.. like the love I feel for you.

3)Oh! My good, what I wouldn't do for youTo have you a second, far away of the worldand a little closer to meOh! My good, like the river Magdalene That it founds (personification) in the sand of the seaI want to fuse myself in you

There are loves that return themselves resistant to the painsLike the wine that betters with the yearsThus what I feel for you grows

There are loves that themselves wait in the winter and they bloomin the nights of the autumn turn green againSuch like the love that I feel for you

Oh! My good, do not forget the seathat in the nights you have seen me cryso much memories of youOh! My good do not forget of the daythat I separated in your lifeof the poor life that I must live

There are loves resistant even the painslike the wine that betters with the yearsLike so grows what I feel for youThere are loves that appear finished and bloom

and in the nights of autumn turn green againSuch like the love I feel for youI for you, I for you, for you, like the love that I feel for you

4)Oh! My wellbeing, what I would not do for you,To have you for a moment, far from the worldAnd close to me

Oh! My wellbeing, as the Magdalena riverRenders itself into the sand of the seaSo I wish to render myself into you

There are loves that become impervious to pain,And just as wine improves with the years,So grows what I feel for you

There are loves that await the winter and flowerAnd in the autumn nights are rebornJust as the love I have for you

Oh! My wellbeing, do not forget the sea,Who in the evenings has seen me cry,So many memories of you.

Oh! My wellbeing, do not forget the dayThat separated your lifeFrom the wretched life that was my lot to live.

There are loves that become impervious to pain,And just as wine improves with the years,So grows what I feel for you,

There are loves that seem to end and flowerAnd in the autumn nights are rebornJust as the love I feel for youI for you, for you, as the love I feel for you.

I like the second one better too! The English grammar is the most natural and best in this one, and I think it's more literal too like "There's nothing I wouldn't do for you" "que no haria yo por ti" instead of "id do anything" etc
Good Luck with your essay!

thanks jasmine, that's what I thought. I am going to start writing now to get this thing over...

To love you I need a reasonIt's difficult to believe that no other exists than this loveThere's too much left inside this heartAnd although they say that the years are wise, pain is still felt

Because all of the time that I spent with youHas left it's thread woven through me

And I learned to take from timeThe seconds that you let me see heaven more profoundlyWith you I believe I put on more than 3 kilos from the sweet kisses that you gave me

You developed my sense of smellAnd it was for you that I learned to like catsYou freed my shoes from the cementSo we could escape to fly for a while

But you forgot one last detailBecause I don't know how to live without your love

I discovered the significance of a roseYou taught me how to tell white lies so I could see you in forbidden hoursAnd how to replace words with gazesIt was for you that I wrote more than 100 songsI even forgave your mistakesI got to know 1,000 ways of kissingAnd it was for you that I discovered what it is to love

What it is to loveWhat it is to loveWhat it is to loveWhat it is to love...

I'm learning Spanish .. and I tried to make translations of Te Dejo Madrid... I tried to keep the expressions though there are better in these other languages.. but if anyone finds something wrong in the grammatical structures or verb tenses please informe me !

GypsyI never used a veilI just go through this fleeting worldI don't pretend to stopTell me who walks when they can fly?

My destiny is to walkMy memories are a trail in the seaWhat I have, I give itI say what I think; take me as I am

And it goes lightlyMy gypsy heartThat only understand how to beat in the opposite wayDon't try to tie me upNor to dominate meTake me 'cause if I arrived yesterday, I can go tomorrow'Cause I'm a gypsy'Cause I'm a gypsy

I go on being an apprenticeIn each kiss and with each scarSomething I could understandFrom a lot of stumbling, I already know who to fall

And it goes lightly My gypsy heart That only understand how to beat in the opposite way Don't try to tie me up Nor to dominate me Take me 'cause if I arrived yesterday, I can go tomorrow 'Cause I'm a gypsy

Let's go and seeThat life is a joyIt's normal that you fearWhat you don't knowTake me and let's goLife is a joyIt's normal that you fearWhat you don't knowI want to see you flyI want to see you fly

And it goes lightly My gypsy heart That only understand how to beat in the opposite way Don't try to tie me up Nor to dominate me If I came yesterday, benefit today that I go tomorrow 'Cause I'm a gypsy

On the Eighth Day,After so much hard work, to release tensions that had already been taken care of*God said 'All is well and it's the hour to rest' and went for a stroll in outer space

Who would imagine that the same God upon returning,Would find everything in an infernal disorder?That the world would become idle, Endlessly getting worse**

Since then there are those who have seen him,Alone in the streets, wanderingWalking, hoping patiently for someone With whom he can at least have a calm conversation...

Meanwhile, this world spins and spins, unable to stopAnd down here a few of us control the rest Like chess piecesBut I'm not that type of idiot,That they can sway,I'll speak the truth,Until even a blind man can see...

Either for lack of activity, Or from being too lonely,God could resist no more and went to another place.He must be our perdition, The can be no other way, other than adoring Michael Jackson, Bill Clinton or Tarzan.

It's more difficult to be a king without a crown Than to be a normal person,Too bad for God he's not in the magazines,and he isn't a model, or artist or from a royal family...

Meanwhile, this world spins and spins, unable to stopAnd down here a few of us control the rest Like chess piecesBut I'm not that type of idiot,That they can sway,I'll speak the truth,Until even a blind man can see...

I tried to translate it but there are some tricky sentences to translate in this song!* I took luego here as an adjective with ya to mean earlier, beforehand rather than 'later', especially since the next line is 'all is well'. I think this makes sense in English and reflects the Spanish meaning but I could be wrong... feel free to correct me. All the other translations I have saw said "to be later revised".*Or the rate of unemployment growing every year, but I translated it as 'idle' which also means unemployed and 'annual rate' as getting worse every year.

Oh, you know I have seenA sky without sunA man with no nationSaints, captive in chainsA song with no nameFor lack of imagination Ya he...And I have seenDarker than ebony

Ya he Ya he Ya la he

And now it seems, that IWithout your eyes could never be

My one desire, all I aspireIs in your eyes forever to liveTraveled all over the seven oceansThere is nothing that I wouldn't giveCame from Bahrein, got to BeirutLooking for someone comparing to youTearing down windows and doorsAnd I could not find eyes like yours....

WelcomeYou've arrivedAt the right momentand to the indicated placeNot everything that is delicious makes you fatand not everything that is good is a sin

I will be you desires turned in legs, a recurrent idea of fascinationI will be a plot for your mindthe object and the cause of your perditionand your good luck

count from 1 to 10And I will hide where you can see methat's my way of playing the english hide & seekUn, deux, trois, quatrekiss me onceand i will tie you to my bourgeois sofathat's my way of playing hide & seekUn, deux, trois, quatrethat's my way of playing the hide & seekthat's my way of playing the english hide & seek

don't judge me, i'm not one of those just because i have a mischievous mindnot everything that is delicious fattens, and nor does the sinner tie if he prays

I will be your desires turned into legsthe one who puts a sentence for your imaginationI will be a plot for your mind the object and the cause of your perdition and your good luck

count from 1 to 10 And I will hide where you can see me that's my way of playing the english hide & seek Un, deux, trois, quatre kiss me once and i will tie you to my bourgeois sofa that's my way of playing hide & seek Un, deux, trois, quatre that's my way of playing the hide & seek that's my way of playing the english hide & seek

Maybe one directly and one into english context? INCLUDING the bridge part this time?

Thanks!

it's a direct , almost literal translation if there are any big mistakes, please the spanish natives correct me and i will keep the context one to my project since it needs focus and muse but if there is a part you still don't really get, i can explain it in "words" not as a "poem/song" xD

TITLE

Devotion

VERSE 1

I didn't think that I would care about the tone of your messageYou left me the sensation that I have been an additional weight in your baggage

VERSE 2

I still cling on to your love like hot ironI made myself so resistant to pain and deception lately

HOOK

I believe, I believeNot in what they tell me, but in what I seeAnd from what I see, I believeThat you already forgot about me

CHORUS

I feel that I am losing you, there's no signalHello hello, is there anyone here?Too much indifference does me badHello hello, I'm still hereI don't respond to any other waveThan to this strange devotion for you

VERSE 3

The crashing of solitud scratched you in your sideThere weren't a better place to be after love than to be by your side
